Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

A Spohn Panhard Bar with Poly bushings!

I wonder what other little surprises are on this car I have yet to discover.

If anyone sees anything else they believe to be aftermarket, let me know!

Not sure that's a "goodie", though.

Re: Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

Thanks for clearing that up. I was 90% sure it wasn't stock butt never bothered to check.

About as useful as an antenna ball though. Now if it was one of those aluminum covers with the full and drain holes...


I wonder if the sway bar is stock...itd be wierd to replace the PHB but not the SB...

you can barely see it.... it looks like its been changed not too long ago. never hurts to put a fresh one in. its right behind the floor pan. low center of pic. kinda shiney and you can see the fuel line wrap around the floor pan towards the tranny.

Re: Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

Excuse my noobishness, but where exactly are the LCA's located? I know what they are but not how to spot them.

I will get under today and check the sway bar.

Re: Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

Think I found something else that is aftermarket from a PO.

Can anyone tell me if these are actually worth having or if they're one of those bragging rights parts.

Re: Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

Well there noy bad shocks not high end as far as perfomacne but they are good stock replacments. Good news is the lca's in the pic are aftermarket. Some one was doing some suspension mods on that car.

Re: Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

I checked and know that the front LCA's are stock, but I'm not sure how to identify the rear LCA's...

Can someone point them out?

Re: Yet Another Goodie I Discovered From a PO

Ah you are referring to the box style part that looks blacker than anything else in that picture?

I knew those weren't stock but didn't know they were the rear control arms


They have poly bushing also .
